An electrical device having a bus side and a load side is provided. The electrical device includes a plurality of conductive line terminals disposed on the bus side of said electrical device, and a plurality of electrical connectors. Each electrical connector of the plurality of electrical connectors includes a first end coupled to a respective line terminal of the plurality of line terminals, a second end distal from the first end, and a connector clip disposed at the second end. Each connector clip is configured to engage a bus bar to electrically couple the electrical device to the bus bar, and includes a first contact segment and a second contact segment spaced apart from the first contact segment. The first and second contact segments are configured to deflect towards one another from a relaxed position to a depressed position when inserted into a connector channel defined by the bus bar.

Electrical device, electrical distribution system, and methods of assembling same

An electrical distribution apparatus includes a bus bar assembly including a first surface. The electrical distribution apparatus also includes a backplane including a second surface. The electrical distribution apparatus further includes a plurality of engagement features and a plurality of openings for receiving the plurality of engagement features. The plurality of engagement features couple the bus bar assembly to the backplane. The plurality of engagement features extend from at least one of the first surface and the second surface. The plurality of openings are defined by at least one of the first surface and the second surface.

Electrical distribution apparatus and methods of assembling same

An electrical distribution apparatus includes a backplane for supporting a plurality of electrical devices, a bus bar assembly coupled to the backplane, and a frame that supports the backplane. The electrical distribution apparatus also includes at least one positioning member that facilitates positioning the backplane relative to the frame. The at least one positioning member at least partially supports the backplane such that the backplane is positionable between a first position and a second position. The backplane contacts the frame in the second position.

An electrical distribution apparatus is provided. The electrical distribution apparatus includes a stacked bus bar assembly including a plurality of bus bars. Each bus bar includes a first plate, a second plate spaced from the first plate in a first direction, and an intermediate member disposed between and interconnecting the first plate and the second plate. At least one of the first plate and said second plate is constructed of an electrically conductive material.
